NMOS 16.384-BIT DYNAMIC
RANDOM ACCESS MEMORY
DESCRIPTION
The Fujitsu MB8118 is a fully decoded dynamic NMOS random access memory organized as 16,384
one-bit words. The design is optimized for high-speed, high performance applications such as
mainframe memory, buffer memory
peripheral storage and environments where low power dissipation
and compact layout are required.
Multiplexed row and column address inputs permit the MB8118 to
be housed in a standard 16-pin DIP.
Pin outs conform to the JEDEC approved pin out.

The MB8118 is fabricated using
silicon-gate NMOS and Fujitsu's advanced Double-Layer Polysilicon
process. This process, coupled with
single-transistor memory storage
cells, permits maximum circuit density and minimal chip size. Dynamic
circuitry is employed in the design,
including the sense amplifiers.
Clock timing requirements are noncritical, and power supply tolerance
is very wide. All inputs are TTL
compatible; the output is threestate TTL.

fIl Operation within the tRCO (max) limit insures that tRCO (max) can
be met. tRCO (max) is specified as a reference point only; iftRCO is
greater than the specified tRCO (max) limit, then access time is
controlled exclusively by tCAC.
00 tRCO(min)=tRAH(min)+2tT(tT=5ns)+lASC(min).
III twcs, tcwo and tRWO are not restrictive operating parameters.
They are included in the data sheet as electrical characteristics
only. If twcs>twcs (min), the cycle is an early write cycle and the
data out pin will remain open circuit (high impedance) throughout
entire cycle. Iftcwo>tcwo (min) and tRWO>tRWO (min), the cycle
is a read-write cycle and data out will contain data read from the
selected cell. If neither of the above sets of conditions is satisfied
the condition of the data out is indeterminate.

[]] An initial pause of 200"s is required. Then several cycles are
required after power up before proper device operation is
achieved. Any 8 cycles which perform refresh are adequate for this
purpose.
rn Dynamic measurements assume tT=5ns.
I!l VIH (min) and VIL (max) are reference levels for measuring timing
of input signals. Also, transition times are measured between VIH
and VIL.
I!l Assumes that tRCOtRCO (max).
00 Measured with a load equivalent to 2 TTL loads and 100pF.

DESCRIPTION
Address Inputs
A total of fourteen binary input address bits
are required to decode anyone of 16,3B4
storage cell locations within the MBBllB.
Seven row-address bits are established on
the input pins (Ao through As) and latched
with the Row Address Strobe (RAS). Sev~n
column-address bits are established on the
input pins and latched with the Column Address Strobe (CAS). All input addresses must
be stable on or before the failing edge of RAS.
CAS is internally inhibited JQI:..:'gated") by
RAS to permit triggering of CAS as soon as
the Row Address Hold Time (tRAH) specification has been satisfied and the address inputs
have been changed from row-addresses to
column-addresses.
Write Enable
The read mode or write mode is selected with
the WE input. A logic "high" on WE dictates
read mode; logic "low" dictates write mode.
Data inpuU!..disabled when read mode is
selected. WE can be driven by standard
TTL circuits without a pull-up resistor.
Date Input:
Data is written into the MBB118 during a write
or read-write cycle. The last falling edge of

WE or CAS is a strobe for the Data In (DIN)
register. In a write cycle, if WE is brought low
(write mode) before CAS, DIN is strobed by
~, and the set-up and hold times are referenced to CAS. In a read-write cycle, WE will
be delayed until CAS has made its ~ative
transition. Thus DIN is strobed by WE, and
set-up and hold times are referenced to WE.
Data Output
The output buffer is three-state TTL compatible with a fan-out of two standard TTL loads.
Data-out is the same polarity as data-in. The
output is in a high impedance state until CAS
Is brought low. In a read cycle, or a read-write
cycle, the output is valid alter tRAC from transition of RAS when tRCD (max~atisfied, or
alter tCAC from transition of CAS when the
transition occurs after tRCD (max). Data remains valid until CAS is returned to a high
level. In a write cycle the identical sequence
occurs, but data is not valid.
Page-Mode
Page-mode operation permits latching the
row-address into the MBBllB and maintaining RAS at a logic "low" throughout all successive memory operations in which the

row-address doesn't change. This saves the
power required by a RAS cycle. Access and
cycle times are decreased because the time
normally required to strobe a new rowaddress Is eliminated.
RA8-0nly Refresh
Refresh of the dynamic memory is accomplished by performing a memory cycle at
each of the 12B row-addresses at least every
two milliseconds. RAS-only refresh prevents
any output during refresh because the output
buffer is in the high impedance state since
CAS is at VIH. Str.Q~ each of the 12B
row-addresses with RAS will cause all bits in
the memory to be refreshed. RAS-only refresh results in a substantial reduction in
power dissipation.
Hidden Refresh
RAS-ONLY REFRESH CYCLE may take
place while maintaining valid output data.
This feature is referred to as Hidden Refresh.
Hidden Refresh is performed by holding CAS
at VIL from a previous memory read cycle.

NMOS 262,144-Bit Dynamic
Random Access Memory

De.crlptlon
The Fujitsu MB81256 Is a fully decoded, dynamic NMOS random
access memory organized as 262,144 one-bit words. The design is
optimized for high speed, high performance applications such as
mainframe memory, buffer memory, peripheral storage and en·
vironments where low power dissipation and compact layout are
required.
The MB81256 features "page mode" which allows high speed ran·
dom access of up to 512·bits within the same row. Additionally, the
MB81256 offers new functional enhancements that make it more
versatile than previous dynamic RAMs. Multiplexed row and col·
umn address inputs permit the MB81256 to be housed in a Jedec
standard 16-pin dual in·line package and 16-pad lCC.
The MB81256 is fabricated using silicon gate NMOS and Fujitsu's
advanced Triple-layer Polysilicon process. This process, coupled
with single transistor memory storage cells, permits maximum cir·
cuit density and minimal chip size. Dynamic circuitry is used in the
design, including dynamic sense amplifiers.
Clock timing requirements are noncritical, and the power supply
tolerance is very wide. All inputs are TIL compatible.

Description

Simplified Timing Requirement
The MB81256 has improved circuitry that eases timing requirements for high speed access operations. The M B81256
can operate under the cond ition of tRCO (max) = t CAC, thus
providing optimal timing for
address multiplexing. In addition, the MB81256 has minimal
hold times for Addresses
(t CAH ), Write-Enable (t WCH) and
Data·in (t OH ). The MB81256 provides higher throughput in
inter-leaved memory system
applications. Fujitsu has made
the timing requirements that
are referenced to RAS nonrestrictive and deleted them
from the data sheet. These include tAR, t WCR , tOHR and t RWO·
As a result, the hold times of
the Column Address, 0 and Vi
as well as t cwo (CAS to Vi
Delay) are not restricted by
tRCO·
Fast Read·Wrlte Cycle
The M B81256 has a fast read·
modify-write cycle which is
achieved by precise control of
the three-state output buffer as
well as by the simplified timings described in the previous
section. The output buffer is
controlled by the state ofW
when CAS goes "low". When
Vi is "low' during a CAS transi·
tion to "low", the MB81256
goes into the early write mode
in which the output floats and
the common I/O bus can be used on the system level. When
Vi goes "low", after t cwo
following a CAS transition to
"low", the MB81256 goes into
Ihe delayed write mode. The
output then contains the data
from the cell selected and the
data from 0 is written into the
cell selected. Therefore, a very
fast read-write cycle
(tRwC = tRd is possible with
the MB81256.
Address Inputs
A total of eighteen binary input
address bits are required to
decode any 1 of 262,144 cell
locations within the MB81256.
Nine row-address bits are
established on the input pins
(Ao through A~ and are latched
with the Row Address Strobe
(RAS). Nine column address
bits are established on the input pins and latched with the

Column Address Strobe (CAS).
All row addresses must be
stable on or before the falling
edge of RAS. CAS is internally
inhibited (or "gated") b1Bt\S
to permit triggering of CAS as
soon as the Row Address
Hold/Time (t RAH ) specification
has been satisfied and the address inputs have been changed from row addresses to column addresses.
Write Enable
The read or write mode is
selected with the Vi input. A
logic "high" on Vi dictates
read mode. A logic "low" dictates write mode. The data input is disabled when the read
mode is selected.
Data Input
Data is written into the
MB81256 during a write or
read-write cycle. The last failing edge of Vi or CAS is a
strobe for the data-in (D)
register. In a write cycle, if Vi
is brougt1L"low" (write mode)
before CAS, 0 is strobed by
CAS, and the set·up and hold
times are referenced to CAS. In
a read-write cycle, Vi will be
delayed until CAS has made
its negative transition. Thus 0
is strobed by Vi, and set-up
and hold times are referenced
tow.
Data Output
The output buffer is three-state
TIL compatible with a fan-out
of two standard TIL loads.
Data out is the same polarity
as data in. The output is in a
!!!.II!! impedance state until
CAS is brought "low". In a
read cycle, or a read-write cycle, the output is valid after
tRAC from transition of RAS
when tRCO(maX) is satisfied, or
after tCAC from transition of
CAS when the transition occurs after tRCO(ma~ata remains valid until CAS is returned to "high". In a write cycle,
the identical sequence occurs,
but data is not valid.
Page Mode
Page mode operation permits
strobing the row address into
the MB81256 while maintaining
RAS at a logic low (0) throughout all successive memory
operations in which the row

FUJITSU
1-22

address doesn't change. Thus,
the power dissipated by the
negative going edge of RAS is
saved. Access and cycle times
are decreased because the
time normally required to
strobe a new row address is
eliminated.
RAS-Only Refresh
Refresh of dynamic memory
cells is accomplished by performing a memory cycle at
each of the 256 row·adresses
(&c- A7) at least every 4 ms.
RAS-only refresh avoids any
output during refresh because
the output buffer is in th~h
impedance state unless CAS is
brought "low". Strobing each
of the 256 row-addresses
(Ao - A7) with RAS will cause
all bits in each row to be
refreshed. RAS-only refresh
results in a substantial reduction in power diSSipation.
CAS·before·RAS Refresh
CAS·before·RAS refreshing
available on the MB81256 of·
fers an alternate refresh
method. If CAS is held "low"
for the ~cified period (t FCS)
before RAS goes to "low", onchip refresh control clock
generators and the refresh ad·
dress counter are enabled, and
an internal refresh operation
takes place. After the refresh
operation is performed, the
refresh address counter is
automatically incremented in
preparation for the next CASbefore·RAS refresh operation.
Hidden Refresh
A hidden refresh cycle may
take place while maintaining
the latest valid data at the out·
put by extending the CAS ac·
tive time. For the MB81256, a
hidden refresh cycle is a CASbefore·RAS refresh cycle. The
internal refresh address
counter provides the refresh
addresses as in a normal CAS·
before-RAS refresh cycle.
CAS·befora-RAS Refresh
Counter Test Cycle
A special timing se~ce us·
ing the CAS·before·RAS
counter test cycle provides a
convenient method of v~ing
the functionality of the CAS·
before-RAS refresh activated
circuitry.

Description
(Continued)

After the CAS·before·RAS
refresh operation, if CAS goes
to "high" and then~s to
"low" again while RAS is held
"low", the read and write
operation are enabled.

Suggested CAS·belore·RAS
Counter Test Procedure
The timing, as shown in the
CAS·before·RAS Counter Test
Cycle, is used for all the
following operations:

This is shown in the CAS·
before·RAS counter test cycle
timing diagram. A memory cell
can be addressed with 9 row
address bits and 9 column ad·
dress bits defined as follows:

(3). Using a read·modify·write
cycle, read the "low" written at
the last operation (Step 2) and
write a new "high" in the same
cycle. This cycle is repeated
256 times, and "high"s are
written into the 256 memory
cells.

A COLUMN ADDRESS
All the bits AD through As are
defined by latching levels on
AD through As at the second
falling edge of CAS.

MB81257-10, MB81257-12, MB81257-15
NMOS 262,144·Bit Dynamic
Random Access Memory
With Nibble Mode

Description
The Fujitsu MB81257 is a fully decoded, dynamic NMOS random
access memory organized as 262,144 one-bit words. The design is
optimized for high speed, high performance applications such as
mainframe memory, buffer memory, peripheral storage and environments where low power dissipation and compact layout are
required.
The MB81257 features "nibble mode" which allows high speed
serial access of up to four bits of data. Additionally, the MB81257
offers new functional enhancements that make it more versatile
than previous dynamic RAMs. "CAS-before-RAS" refresh provides
an on-chip refresh capability that is an upward compatible version
of the MB8266A. Multiplexed row and column address inputs permit the MB81257 to be housed in a Jedec standard 16-pin dual inIi ne package and 18-pad LCC.
The MB81257 is fabricated using silicon gate NMOS and Fujitsu's
advanced Triple-layer Polysilicon process. This process, coupled
with single transistor memory storage cells, permits maximum circuit density and minimal chip size. Dynamic circuitry is used in the
design, including dynamic sense amplifiers.
Clock timing requirements are noncritical, and the power supply
tolerance is very wide. All inputs are TIL compatible.

Simplified Timing Requirement
The MB81257 has Improved circuitry that eases tlmlngrequlrements for high speed access operatlons_ The MB81257
can operate under the condition
of tRCo (max) t CAC' thus providing optimal timing for address multiplexing. In addition,
the MB81257 has minimal hold
times for Addresses (tCAH),
Write-Enable (tWCH) and Data-In
(tow. The MB81257 provides
higher throughput in Interleaved memory system applications. Fujitsu has made the timIng requirements that are referenced to RA§ non-restrictive
and deleted them from the data
sheet. These Include tAR, twcR,
tOHR and tRW?' As a result, the
hold times 0 the Column Address, 0 and Was well as tcwo
(CAS to W Delay) are not
restricted by tRCD'

=

Fast Read-WrHe Cycle
The MB81257 has a fast readmodify-write cycle which Is
achieved by precise control of
the three-state output buffer as
well as by the simplified timIngs described In the previous
section. The output buffer Is
controlled by the state of W
when CAS goes "low". When W
Is "low" during a ~ transition
to "low", the MB81257 goes into the early write mode in which
the output floats and the common 1/0 bus can be used on the
system level. When W goes
"low", after tcwo following a
CAS transition to "low", the
MB81257 goes Into the delayed
write mode. The output then
contains the data from the cell
selected and the data from 0 Is
written Into the cell selected.
Therefore, a very fast read-write
cycle (tRWC = tROlls possible
with the MB81257.

address bits are required to
decode any 1 of 262,144 cell
locations within the MB81257.
Nine row address bits are
established on the input pins
(Ao through A~ and are latched
with the Row Address Strobe
(RAS). Nine column address
bits are established on the Input pins and latched with the
Column Address Strobe (CAS).
All input addresses must be
stable on or before the failing
edge of RA§. eAS' Is Internally
Inhibited (or "gated") by RAS to
permit triggering of ~ as
soon as the Row Address
HoldlTlme (t RAH) specification
has been satisfied and the address inputs have been changed from row addresses to column addresses.
Write Enable
The read or write mode Is
selected with the W Input. A
logic "high" on W dictates read
mode. A logic "low" dictates
write mode. The data input Is
disabled when the read mode Is
selected.
Data Input
Data is written Into the
MB81257 during a write or readwrite cycle. The last falling
edge of Vi or CAS Is a strobe
for the Data-lnJ.D) register. In a
write cycle, If W Is brought
"low" (write mode) before CAS,
o Is strobed by CAS, and the
set-up and hold times are
referenced to ~. In a readwrite ~e, W will be delayed

transition. Thus 0 Is strobed by
W, and set-up and hold times

Data Output
The output buffer Is three-state
TTL compatible with a fan-out
of two standard TTL loads.
Data out Is the same polarity as
data In. The output Is In a high

Impedance state until CAS Is
brought "low". In a read cycle,
or a read-write cycle, the output
is valid after t RAC from transition of RA§ when tRCOlmax) Is
satisfied, or after tCAC from
transition of CAS when the
transition occurs after tRQQJmax)'
Data remains valid until CAS Is
returned to "high". In a write
cycle, the Identical sequence
occurs, but data is not valid.
Nlbbla Moda
Nibble mode allows high speed
serial read, write or readmodify-write access of 2, 3 or 4
bits of data. The bits of data
that may be accessed during
nibble mode are determined by
the 8 row addresses and the 8
column addresses. The 2 bits of
addresses (CAe, R~ are used
to select 1 of the 4 nibble bits
for Initial access_ After the flret
bit Is accessed by the normal
mode, the remaining nibble bits
~ be accessed by toggling
~ "high" then "low" while
!!lAS remains "low". Toggling
CAS causes RAe and CAe to be
Incremented Internally while all
other address bits are held constant and makes the next nibble bit available for access.
(See table I belOW).
If more than 4 bits are accessed during nibble mode, the address sequence will begin to
repeat. If any bit Is written durIng nibble mode, the new data
will be read on any subsequent
access. If the write operation Is
executed again on subsequent
access, the new data will be
written Into the selected cell
location.
In nibble mode, the three-state
control of the DOUT pin Is determined by the flret normal access cycle.
The data output Is controlled

only b~ W state referenced
at the CAS negative transition
of the normal cycle (first nibble
bit). That Is, when
t wcs > twcs(mln.) Is met, the
data output will remain in the
high-impedance state throughout
the succeeding nibble cycle regardless of the Vi state. When
t ewD > tcwD(mln.) Is met, the
data output will contain data
from the cell selected during
the succeeding nibble cycle
regardless of the W state. The
write operation Is done during
~erlod In which the Wand
CAS' clocks are low. Therefore,
the write operation can be performed bit by bit during each
nibble operation regardless of
the timing conditions ofW
(twcs and tcwel during the
normal cycle (first nibble bit).
(See table 2 and Figure 1 below).
iiA&Only Refresh
Refresh of dynamic memory
celis Is accomplished by performing a memory cycle at each
of the 256 row-adresses
(An - A7) at least every 4 ms.
RASonly refresh avoids any
output during refresh because
the output buffer Is in th~h
Impedance state unless CAS Is
brought "low". Strobing each of
the 256 row-addresses (Ae - A7)
with RAS will cause all bits In
each row to be refreshed. RASonly refresh results In a
substantial reduction In power
dissipation.
CAS-before-AD Refresh
CAS-befora-RAS refreshing
available on the MB81257 offers
an alternate refresh method. If
CAS Is held "low" for the
~Ifled period (tFcsl before
RAS goes to "low", on-chip
refresh control clock generators
and the refresh address counter
are enabled, and an Internal
refresh operation takes place.

FUJITSU
1-41

After the refresh operation Is
performed, the refresh address
counter Is automatically Incremented In preparation for
the next CAS-before-RAS
refresh operation.

Suggested CAS·before·RAS
Counter Test Procedure
The timing, as shown In the
CAS·before·RAS Counter Test
Cycle, is used for all the follow·
ing operations:

Hidden Refresh
A hidden refresh cycle may
take place while maintaining
the latest valid data at the output by extending the CAS active time. For the MB81257 a
hidden refresh cycle Is a ~­
before-FIAS refresh cycle. The
Internal refresh address counter
provides the refresh addresses
as In a normal CAS-before-RAS
refresh cycle.

(1). Initialize the internal refresh
counter. For this operation, 8
cycles are required.

CAs.befo.... RAS Refresh
Counter Test Cycle
A specl&!!!,nlng se~ce usIng the CAS-befora-RAS counter
test cycle provides a convenient
method of verlf~ the functionality of the CAS-before-FIAS
refresh activated circuitry.
After the CAS-befora-RAS
refresh operation, If CAS goes
to "high" and then.JlQ!ls to
"low" again while RAS 15 held
"low", the read and write operation are enabled.
This Is shown In the CASbefore-RAS counter test cycle
timing diagram. A memory celi
can be addressed with 9 row
address bits and 9 column address bits defined as follows:
A ROW ADDRESS
Bits Ae through A7 are defined
by the refresh counter. The
other bit As Is set "high" Inter·
nally.
A COLUMN ADDRESS
All the bits Ao through As are
defined by latching levels on Ao
through As at the second failing
edge of CAS.

(2). Write a test pattern of
"Iow"s into memory cells at a
single column address and 256
row address.
(3). Using a read-modlfy·write
cycle, read the "low" written at
the last operation (Step (2» and
write a new "high" In the same
cycle. This cycle is repeated
256 times, and "hlgh"s are writ·
ten into the 256 memory cells.

(4). Read the "hlgh"s written at
the last operation (Step 3).
(5). Complement the test pattern and repeat steps (2), (3) and
(4).

MB81256.12.W, MB81256·15·W
NMOS 262,144-8it Dynamic
Random Access Memory

Description
The Fujitsu MB81256-W is a fully decoded, dynamic NMOS random access memory organized as 262,144 one-bit words. The design is optimized for high speed, high performance applications
such as mainframe memory, buffer memory, peripheral storage
and environments where low power dissipation and compact layout
are required.
The MB81256-W features "page mode" which allows high speed
random access of up to 512-bits within the same row. Additionally,
the MB81256-W offers new functional enhancements that make it
more versatile than previous dynamic RAMs. MuRiplexed row and
column address inputs permit the MB81256-W to be housed in a
Jedec standard 16-pin dual in-line package and 18-pad LGG.
The MB81256-W is fabricated using silicon gate NMOS and
Fujitsu's advanced Triple-layer Polysilicon process. This process,
coupled with single transistor memory storage cells, permits maximum circuit density and minimal chip size. Dynamic circuitry is
used in the design, including dynamic sense amplifiers.
Glock timing requirements are noncritical, and the power supply
to.lerance is very wide. All inputs are TTL compatible.

MB81256·15·W

Description
the Column Address Strobe
(CAS). All row addresses must
be stable on or before the falling
edge of RAS. CAS is internally
inhibited (or "gated'~ RAS to
permit triggering of CAS as soon
as the Row Address Hold/time
(t RAH ) specification has been satisfied and the address inputs
have been changed from row addresses to column addresses.

Simplifed Timing Requirement
The MB81256-W has improved
circuitry that eases timing requirements for high speed access operations. The MB81256W can operate under the condition of t RCO (max) = tCAC ' thus
providing optimal timing for address multiplexing. In addition,
the MB81256-W has minimal
hold times for Addresses (t CAH ).
Write-Enable (tWCH ) and Data-in
(toH). The MB81256-W provides
higher throughput in inter-leaved
memory system applications.
Fujitsu has made the timing reqUirements that are referenced to
RAS nonrestrictive and deleted
them from the data sheet. These
include tAR, t WCR ' tOHR and tRWO ·
As a result, the hold times of the
Column Address, D and W as
well as tcwo (CAS to W Delay)
are not restricted by t RCO ·
Fast Read-Write Cycle
The MB81256-W has a fast readmodify-write cycle which is
achieved by precise control of
the three-state output buffer as
well as by the simplified timings
described in the previous section.
The output buffer is controlled by
the state of W when CAS goes
"low". When W is "low" during a
CAS transition to "low", the
MB81256-W goes into the early
write mode in which the output
floats and the common I/O bus
can be used on the system level.
When W goes "low", the
MB81256-W goes into the delayed write mode. The output
then contains the data from the
cell selected and the data from D
is written into the cell selected.
Therefore, a very fast read-write
cycle (tRWC = tRd is possible
with the MB81256-W.
Address Inputs
A total of eighteen binary input
address bits are required to decode any 1 of 262,144 cell locations within the MB81256-W. Nine
row-address bits are established
on the input pins (Ao through As)
and are latched with the Row Address Strobe (RAS). Nine column
address bits are established on
the input pins and latched with

Write Enable
The read or write mode is selected with the W input. A logic
"high" on W dictates write mode.
The data input is disabled when
the read mode is selected.
Data Input
Data is written into the MB81256W during a write or read-write_
cyc~he last falling edge of W
or CAS is a strobe for the data-in
(D) register. In a write cycle, if W
is br~t "low" (write mo~e­
fore CAS, D is strobed by CAS,
and the set-up and hold times
are referenced to CAS. In a readwrite cycle, Wwill be delayed until CAS has made its negative
transition. Thus D is strobed by
W, and set-up and hold times are
referenced to W.

RAS-Only Refresh
Refresh of dynamic memory cells
is accomplished by performing a
memory cycle at each of the 256
row-addresses (Ao - A7) at least
every 2 ms. RAS-only refresh
avoids any output during refresh
because the output buffer is in
the high impedance state unless
CAS is brought "low". Strobing
each of the 256 row-addresses
(Ao - A7) with RAS will cause all
bits in each row to be refreshed.
RAS-only refresh results in a
substantial reduction in power
dissipation.
CA5-before-RAS Refresh
CAS-before-RAS refreshing
available on the MB81256-W offers an alternate refresh method.
If CAS is held "low" for th~eci­
fied period (tFCS) before RAS
goes to "low", on-chip refresh
control clock generators and the
refresh address counter are enabled, and an internal refresh operation takes place. After the
refresh operation is performed,
the refresh address counter is
automatically incremented in
preparation for the next CAS-before-RAS refresh operation.
Hidden Refresh

Data Output
The output buffer is three-state
TTL compatible with a fan-out of
two standard TTL loads. Data out
is the same polarity as data in.
The output is in ~h impedance state until CAS is brought
"low". In a read cycle, or a readwrite cycle the output is valid
after tRAC from transition of RAS
when tRCO~X). Data remains
valid until CAS is returned to
"high". In a write cycle, the identical sequence occurs, but data is
not valid.
Page Mode
Page mode operation permits
strobing the row address into the
MB81256-W while maintaining
RAS at a logic low (0) throughout
all successive memory operations in which the row address
doesn't change. Thus, the power
dissipate.s!J2y the negative going
edge of RAS is saved. Access
and cycle times are decreased
because the time normally required to strobe a new row address is eliminated.

1-52

A hidden refresh cycle may take
place while maintaining the latest
valid data at the output by extending the CAS active time. For
the MB81256-W, a hidden refresh cycle is a CAS-before-RAS
refresh cycle. The internal refresh
address counter provides the refresh addresses as in a normal
CAS-before-RAS refresh cycle.
CAS·before-RAS Refresh
Counter Test Cycle
A special timing~ence using
the CAS-before-RAS counter test
cycle provides a convenient
method of ~ing the functionality of the CAS-before-RAS refresh activated circuitry.

Description
(Continued)

After the CAS-before-RAS refresh operation, if CAS goes to
"high" and then goes to "low"
again while RAS is held "low",
the read and write operation are
enabled.
This is shown in the CAS-beforeRAS counter test cycle timing
diagram. A memory cell can be
addressed with 9 row address
bits and 9 column address bits
defined as follows:

A Column Address
All the bits AD through As are defined by latching levels on Ao
through As at the second falling
edge of CAS.
Suggested CAS:-before-RAS
Counter Test Procedure
The timirllk as shown in the CASbefore-RAS Counter Test Cycle,
is used for all the following
operations:

A Row Address
Bits AD through A7 are defined by
the refresh counter. The other bit
As is set "high" internally.

3) Using a read-modify-write
cycle, read the "low" written
at the last operation (Step 2)
and write a new "high" in the
same cycle. This cycle is repeated 256 times, and "high"s
are written into the 256 memory cells.
4) Read the "high"s written at
the last operation (Step 3).
5) Complement the test pattern

MB81257.12.W, MB81257·15·W
NMOS 262,144-Bit Dynamic
Random Access Memory
With Nibble Mode

Description
The Fujitsu MB81257-W is a fully decoded, dynamic NMOS random access memory organized as 262,144 one-bit words. The design is optimized for high speed, high performance applications
such as mainframe memory, buffer memory, peripheral storage
and environments where low power dissipation and compact layout
are required.
The MB81257-W features "nibble mode" which allows high speed
serial access of up to four bits of data. Additionally, the MB81257W offers new functional enhancements that make it more versatile
than previous dynamic RAMs. "CAS-belore-RAS" refresh provides
an on-Chip refresh capability that is an upward compatible version
of the MB8266A. Multiplexed row and column address inputs permit the MB81257-W to be housed in a Jedec standard 16-pin dual
in-line package and 18-pad LCC.
The MB81257-W is fabricated using silicon gate NMOS and
Fujitsu's advanced Triple-layer Polysilicon process. This process,
coupled with single transistor memory storage cells, permits maximum circuit density and minimal chip size. Dynamic circuitry is
used in the design, including dynamic sense amplifiers.
Clock timing requirements are noncritical, and the power supply
tolerance is very wide. All inputs are TTL compatible.

Description
Simplified Timing Requirement

Addresa Inputs

Data Output

The M881257 has improved circuitry that eases timing requirements for high speed access
operations. The MB81257 can
operate under the condition of
t RCD (max.) = !cAC' thus providing optimal timing for address
multiplexing. In addition, the
M881257 has minimal hold times
for Addresses (leAH)' WrHe-Enable (tWCH) and Data-in (tDH). The
MB81257 provides higher
throughput in interleaved memory
system applications. Fujitsu has
made the timing requirements
that are referenced to RAS nonrestrictive and deleted them from
the data sheet. These include
tAR' tWCR' tDHR and tAWD. As a result, the hold times of the Column
Address, 0 and 'iN as well as
!cwo (CAS to W Delay) are not
restricted by tACO'

A total of eighteen binary input
address bits are required to decode any 1 of 262,144 cell locations within the M881257. Nine
row address bits are established
on the input pins (Ao through As)
and are latched with the Row Address Strobe (RAS). Nine column
address bits are established on
the input pins and latched with
the Column Address Strobe
(CAS). All input addresses must
be stable on or before the falling
edge of RAS. CAS is internally
inhibited (or "gated") by RAS" to
permit triggering of eAS as soon
as the Row Address Hold/Time
(tRAH) specification has been satisfied and the address inputs
have been changed from row addresses to column addresses.

The output buffer is three-state
TTL compatible with a fan-out of
two standard TTL loads. Data out
is the same polarity as data in.
The output is in ~h impedance state until CAS is brought
"low". In a read cycle, or a readwrite cycle, the output is valid
after tRAC from transition of RAS
when tRAC from transition of RAS
when tRCD/max.) is satisfied, o:!!:....after t CAC from transition of CAS
when the transition accurs after
t RCJllomx.). Data remains valid until CAS is returned to "high". In a
write cycle, the identical sequence occurs, but data is not
valid.

Fast Read·Wrlte Cycle
The M881257 has a fest readmodify-write cycle which is
achieved by precise control of
the three-state output buffer as
well as by the simplified timings
described in the previous section.
The output buffer is controlled by
goes
the state of 'iN when
"low". When 'iN is "low" during a
~ transition to "low", the
MB81257 goes into the early
write mode in which the output
floats and the common I/O bus
can be used on the system level.
When 'iN goes "low", after tCWD
following a ~ transition to
"low", the MB81257 goes into the
delayed write mode. The output
then contains the data from the
cell selected and the data from 0
is written into the cell selected.
Therefore, a very fast read-wrHe
cycle (tRWC = tRd is possible
wHh the M881257.

m

Write Enable
The read or write mode is selected with the 'iN input. A logic
"high" on 'iN dictates read mode.
A logic "low" dictates write mode.
The data input is disabled when
the read mode is selected ..
Data Input
Data is written into the MB81257
during a write or read-write ~.
The last falling edge of IN or ~
is a strobe for the Data-in (D)
register. In a wrHe cycle, if W is
brou~low" (write mode) before CAS, 0 is strobed by CAS',
and the set-up and hold times
are referenced to CAS'. In a readwri~cle, 'iN will be delayed until CAS has made its negative
transition. Thus 0 is strobed by
IN, and set-up and hold times are
referenced to 'iN.

Nibble Mode
Nibble mode allows high speed
serial read, write or read-modifywrite access of 2-, 3- or 4-bits of
data. The bits of data that may
be accessed during nibble mode
are determined by the 8 row addresses and the 8 column addresses. The 2-bits of addresses
(CAe, RAe) are used to select 1
of the 4 nibble bits for initial access. After the first bit is accessed by the normal mode, the
remaining nibble bits may be accessed by toggling CAS "high"
then "low" while FiAS remains
"low". Toggling CAS causes RAe
and CAe to be incremented internally while all other address bits
are held constant and makes the
next nibble bit available for access. (See table I below).
If more than 4-bits are accessed
during nibble mode, the address
sequence will begin to repeat. If
any bit is written during nibble
mode, the new data will be read
on any subsequent access. If the
write operation is executed again
on subsequent access, the new
data will be written into the selected ceillacation.

(Continued)

In nibble mode, the threa-state
control of the DOUT pin is determined by the first normal access
cycle.

CA5-before-RAS Refresh
CAS-befora-RAS refreshing
available on the MB81257 offers
an altemate refresh method. "
CAS is held "low" for the~ci­
fled period (t FCS) before RAS
goes to "low", on-chip refresh
control clock generators and the
refresh address counter are enabled, and an internal refresh operation takes place. After the
refresh operation is performed,
the refresh address counter is
automatically incremented in
preparation for the next CAS-befora-1'iAS refresh operation.

The data output is controlled only
~e W state referenced at the
CAS negative transition of the
normal cycle (first nibble bit).
That is, when twcs > twcs (min.)
is met, the data output will remain open circuit throughout the
succeeding nibble cycle regardless of the W state. When tewD
> IcWD(min.) is met, the data
output will contain data from the
cell selected during the succeeding nibble cycle regardless of the
W state. The write operation is
done during the period in which
the Wand CAS clocks are low.
Therefore, the write operation
can be performed bit by bit during each nibble operation regaro:!:
less of the timing conditions of W
(twcs and lewD) during the normal cycle (first nibble bit). (See
table" and Figure 2 below).

Hidden Refresh
A hidden refresh cycle may take
place while maintaining the latest
valid data at the output by extending the CAS active time. For
the MB81257, a hidden refresh
cycle is a CAS-before-RAS refresh cycle. The internal refresh
address counter provides the refresh addresses as in a normal
CAS-befora-RAS refresh cycle.

RAS-Only Refresh
Refresh of dynamic memory cells
is accomplished by performing a
memory cycle at each of the 256
row-address~o - A7) at least
every 4 ms. RAS-only refresh
avoids any output during refresh
because the output buffer is in
the high impedance state unless
CAS is brought "low". Strobing
each of the 256 row-addresses
(Ao - A7) with RAS will cause all
bits in each row to be refreshed.
RAS-only refresh results in a
substantial reduction in power
diSSipation.

CMi·before-RAS Refresh
Counter Test Cycle
A special timing ~uence using
the CAS-befora-RAS counter test
cycle provides a convenient
method of verifying the functionality of the CAS-befora-RAS rafresh activated circuitry.
After the CAS-before-RAS" refresh operation, if CAS goes to
"high" and then goes to "low"
again while RAS is held "loW",
the read and write operation are
enabled.

This is shown in the CAS-beforeRAS counter test cycle timing
diagram. A memory cell can be
addressed with 9 row address
bits and 9 column address bits
defined as follows:
A Row Address
Bits Ao through A7 are defined by
the refresh counter. The other bit
As is set "high" internally.
A Column Address
All the bits Ao through As are dafined by latching levels on Ao
through ~t the second falling
edge of CAS.
Suggested CAS·befora-RAS
Refresh Counter Test
Procedure
The tim~ as shown in the CASbefore-RAS Counter Test Cycle,
is used for all the following
operations:
1) Initialize the internal refresh
counter. For this operation, 8
cycles are required.
2) Write a test pattern of "Iow"s
into memory cells at a single
column address and 256 row
address.

3) Using a read-modify-write
cycle, read the "low" written
at the last operation (Step 2)
and write a new "high" in the
same cycle. This cycle is repeated 256 times, and "high"s
are written into the 256 memory cells.
4) Read the "high"s written at
the last operation (Step 3).

5) Complement the test pattern
and repeat steps 2, 3,
and 4.
